AOKZOE A2 Ultra officially with Core Ultra 7 155H
The company confirms specs during the special event in China.
AOKZOE has officially unveiled their latest gaming handheld, dubbed the A2 Ultra. Departing from AMD Ryzen APUs, this device opts for an Intel Core Ultra processor based on the Meteor Lake architecture. IThis is the second major release of a handheld powered by Intel CPU, following the MSI Claw.
Both handhelds will come equipped with the same processor variant known as the Core Ultra 7 155H (Claw is also available with Ultra 5 135H). This particular model boasts a 16-core configuration, featuring 6 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores, and 2 low-power cores. The CPU can boost up to 4.8 GHz. This processor is equipped with Intel Arc graphics featuring 8 Xe-Cores up to 2.25 GHz. This is the highest configuration in the Core Ultra 100 lineup, but it is not as fast as the ‘165H’ or ‘185H’ model in terms of frequency.

Additionally, the handheld is now confirmed to feature a 7-inch 1920×1200 screen, which, from the looks of it, is the same screen as the one on the A2 non-Ultra device powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. The Core Ultra 7 155H will be paired with LPDDR5X-7467 memor y, now confirmed to arrive in 32GB and 64GB capacities. This is a significant upgrade over any of the popular handhelds (including Claw), all of which are limited to a 16GB capacity. Whether gaming needs more is a different story.
